The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Master Yideng originally thought that even with Zhang Sanfeng's help, it wouldn't be easy for the two of them to fight against the Pig Dragon.

Finally, it seems that Jueyuan will need to come out.

Jueyuan practiced the Nine Yang Divine Skill, a skill that Master Yideng had never seen before.

But nowadays, Shaolin monks mainly practice this martial art.

Although only a few martial monks have achieved minor success in this divine skill, they already possess inexhaustible internal energy and recover at an extremely fast speed.

Jueyuan has been immersed in this martial art for a long time, so he must be extremely proficient in it.

Moreover, the Nine Yang Divine Skill emphasizes that no matter how strong someone is, a gentle breeze still caresses the mountain; no matter how fierce someone is, the bright moon still shines over the great river; no matter how ruthless or evil someone is, I still have enough true energy.

This divine skill is characterized by its incredibly fast and seemingly inexhaustible internal energy generation, the ability to unleash tremendous power even with ordinary punches and kicks, its defensive and deflective properties against external attacks, and the significant speed boost it provides to practitioners.

Moreover, it is a miraculous skill that heals injuries extremely quickly.

Ordinary people cannot heal themselves in battle, but Jueyuan, at his current level, can heal himself to some extent in battle.

Therefore, Jueyuan should be the main force in dealing with this pig-dragon.

However, Zhang Sanfeng was beyond his expectations; he looked very young.

Yes, he's already middle-aged, but compared to those who are nearly eighty, he's still considered young.

But this internal energy cultivation is continuous and unbroken.

Is this someone who has practiced the Nine Yang Divine Skill?
It shouldn't be, but it looks a bit strange.

Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts moves look very strange; they seem slow, but are actually very fast.

They excel at short-range maneuvering and can also use an opponent's force against them.

Yes, use someone else's strength against them.

Master Yideng immediately understood from Zhang Sanfeng's actions that the opponent's strength lay in using the opponent's force against them.

Moreover, it uses a gentle force, yet can strike from a distance.

The pig dragon's scales were extremely thick; it had already used eight-tenths of its strength in the battle.

The reason he dared not use all his strength was because he was afraid that this pig dragon would play tricks. In the Southern Vermilion Bird Cave Heaven, he was the only Grandmaster-level expert.

If they were defeated by the Pig Dragon, their morale would definitely plummet.

It would be shameful if he were ambushed and killed.

Moreover, even the grotto-heaven might not be able to be preserved.

Dali doesn't have many talented people; it's far inferior to Shaolin.

Zhang Sanfeng, this Shaolin outcast, is far more talented than the people of Dali.

There are also countless masters in the Bodhidharma Hall of Shaolin Temple.

Many innate grandmasters are just one step away from becoming great grandmasters.

The reason I didn't advance is because I lacked the necessary comprehension.

Master Yideng dared not allow them to freely comprehend the Vermilion Bird Diagram.

If there were more grandmasters in Shaolin, the master of the Vermilion Bird Cave might very well change.

If the immortal were here, he might give me some face.

Shaolin will also lie low.

But in the Western Pure Land...

Although Master Yideng practiced Buddhism, he knew that once his power was weakened...

The Western Pure Land might very well choose Shaolin and take over the Vermilion Bird Cave.

The banished immortal was powerful, but ultimately not a true immortal.

There are countless immortals in the Western Pure Land. If you offer them a little benefit, that banished immortal might very well agree.

Personal feelings aside, Master Yideng did acknowledge the banished immortal and his character.

But he also understands the changes in human nature.

In his view, the Western Pure Land was not the only option.

However, there's no need to worry so much now.

Zhang Sanfeng's performance as a former Shaolin disciple would put Shaolin at a disadvantage in this match.

As long as Zhang Sanfeng doesn't return to Shaolin, Dali should be safe.

However, we still need to find more high-quality talents and cultivate them.

Master Yideng stepped back slightly.

It's not that he wants to avoid it.

Zhang Sanfeng, on the other hand, is more suited to playing a tank role, while using his One Finger Divine Skill for ranged attacks.

If given the opportunity, it's not impossible to use the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

This highest level of martial arts of the Dali Duan family has been dormant for many years.

Master Yideng didn't not want to practice it before, but the quality of his One-Finger Divine Skill was insufficient, and his internal energy cultivation was too low.

The requirements for the Six Meridians Divine Sword are too high; one must be at least at the Innate level to cultivate it.

The consumption is too great.

Now that I have reached the Grandmaster level, I can use it more smoothly.

However, it cannot be used indefinitely.

The consumption is too great, and if it cannot be recovered, it will be somewhat dangerous.

Fortunately, Zhang Sanfeng was there.

Master Yideng watched from the outside, and each time Zhang Sanfeng looked somewhat dangerous.

But each time, he managed to escape danger.

And each time, the difference was so small that it resulted in a huge error.

Zhang Sanfeng was not hit even once.

opportunity.

Just then, Zhang Sanfeng struck Zhu Polong with a palm strike, perhaps due to the accumulated damage from before reaching a certain level.

The pig dragon actually paused for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Master Yideng unleashed a powerful upward strike of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, directly into the wound that the pig-dragon had been repeatedly struck by Zhang Sanfeng.

This blow severely damaged the pig dragon, greatly reducing its speed.

Zhang Sanfeng shouted "Good!" and then quickly stepped forward to take the pig dragon.

Not long after, Zhu Polong met his end here, caught in the crossfire of Zhang Sanfeng and Master Yideng.

Seeing Pig Dragon fall to the ground, many martial artists in the city cheered loudly.

The beasts led by the Pig Dragon suffered a significant drop in morale and showed signs of collapse.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Master Yideng led everyone in a charge, which crushed the morale of the strange beasts.

Then came the encirclement and suppression.

At this point, there was no need for the two grandmasters, Master Yideng and Zhang Sanfeng, to continue.

The two returned to the city wall, where many skilled warriors who had been providing support greeted them.

"Welcome, two Grandmasters."

"Thank you, Master Yideng."

"Thank you, Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng."

The Shaolin monks originally did not want to thank Zhang Sanfeng.

But circumstances are beyond one's control. Zhang Sanfeng has already advanced to the Grandmaster level, which is already among the most outstanding figures in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

At this time, Shaolin Temple did not yet have its own Grandmaster.

There isn't even a secret realm yet.

Zhang Sanfeng's performance just now made everyone in Shaolin realize his power.

The martial arts Zhang Sanfeng used were not Shaolin martial arts.

Although Jueyuan was in Wudang, it seems that Wudang did not copy Shaolin's martial arts.

Speaking of Jueyuan, he was a monk in the Sutra Repository.

If we're talking about who knows the most, then it has to be Jueyuan.

It's a pity that Shaolin pushed both Jueyuan and Zhang Sanfeng away because of a personal grudge.

Consider the current momentum of Wudang, as well as the Seven Heroes of Wudang and all the other members of Wudang.

They're not stupid; they can't see the strength of the Wudang people below.

This is a force that is no less powerful than Shaolin.

If this is considered their secret realm, surpassing Shaolin in the future will not be difficult.

Or rather, it's a done deal.

"Buddha, why do you not have mercy on Shaolin?"

Zhang Sanfeng observed the reactions of the Shaolin monks.

How could he not understand what was going on?

It's nothing more than some frustration, but definitely not a sign of self-confidence.

In their eyes, they were always the Shaolin outcasts who should never rise to power.

If it weren't for Master...

"Master Yideng is still stronger. If it weren't for his Six Meridians Divine Sword, the outcome would have been uncertain."

Zhang Sanfeng said a few words of modesty.

But in reality, he didn't use his full strength.

There are still some magic weapons we haven't used yet.

Master Yideng was also taken aback, not expecting that anyone would still remember the name of the Dali Duan family.

"Yes, Master Yideng deserves much credit."

"Without Master Yideng, it wouldn't have ended so quickly."

Master Yideng turned his head, intending to comfort Zhang Sanfeng.

But Zhang Sanfeng had already cupped his hands in greeting beforehand and turned to leave.

Look in that direction; that's where Jueyuan lived in seclusion.

This person has a gentle personality and doesn't compete or fight.

Master Yideng felt joy and closeness.

"Why are you back?" Jueyuan sat cross-legged, just as Zhang Sanfeng returned, he opened his eyes and looked over.

It wasn't that he was stronger than Zhang Sanfeng, but rather that Zhang Sanfeng didn't hide his abilities.

Shaking his head, Zhang Sanfeng said, "I'm just here to go through the motions and give the young people some experience."

He himself is already a grandmaster, and has a wealth of practical experience.

If we hadn't been intentionally holding back, today's battle would have ended much sooner.

Jueyuan smiled. He often sparred with Zhang Sanfeng, so he naturally knew Zhang Sanfeng's strength.

After thinking for a moment, Jueyuan asked, "How was it? You've been studying those moves all day, have you figured them out?"

"Ah."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded: "This is called Tai Chi. It excels at striking first after the opponent has moved, and using the opponent's force against them. I only began to understand this after my master took me to observe the Dao. I have been studying it ever since, and only today have I made some progress."

Jueyuan chuckled, "That's good. Wudang has gained another new divine skill."

All of those were passed down from Qin Hao.

Although Zhang Sanfeng's Wudang was originally a separate lineage from Qin Hao's school.

There's nothing wrong with inheriting Qin Hao's martial arts skills.

But the divine skill that Zhang Sanfeng himself comprehended was, of course, even better.

Zhang Sanfeng didn't care about these things, but he was still happy.

Jueyuan then asked, "You finished relatively early. How are the other strange beasts outside?"

He had been waiting inside the city.

If a Grandmaster-level Beast King breaks through, he will quickly go out to provide support.

But he ignored the other strange beasts.

These require the efforts of other martial artists in this world.

Zhang Sanfeng said, "There will be casualties, but very few. Only a few unlucky ones died, and the injured can be healed by the water from Master Yideng's Eight Treasures Merit Pool. All the disciples of Wudang have brought water from the Pure Lotus Pond, so there's no need to worry."

With the Seven Heroes of Wudang leading the way, and the Wudang disciples possessing the Seven Intercepts Formation of Wudang, the combined strength of the seven was sufficient to protect themselves.

As long as you don't take risks and rush in, nothing will happen.

"What about other places?" Jueyuan asked.

Zhang Sanfeng knew he was asking about the invasion of strange beasts from other directions.

Zhang Sanfeng sank into the Heavenly Net, took a moment to understand the situation, then opened his eyes and said, "Don't worry about the north. My master's Mountain and River Map has protected the northern city."

In the north, with the combined efforts of Uncle Zhou and Senior Ying Gu, along with Senior Brother Ma Yu, they quickly stopped the giant python and captured it alive.

As for the other strange beasts, the master didn't pay much attention to them.

They should be kept there so that the subordinates can gain experience.

These strange beasts are troublesome, but also a disaster.

But if used properly, it can also be a resource. Zhang Sanfeng studied under Qin Hao for a long time, and he understood the principles of sustainable development.

"There are many experts in the West as well. In particular, there are quite a few who can control strange beasts. Moreover, Senior Brother Yang Guo has the help of the Divine Condor, and Little Dragon Girl is skilled at controlling jade bees, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

The main problem lies with the east, because those are flying beasts, which are quite troublesome.

Fortunately, the Eastern Cave Heaven is associated with the element of wood, and they are skilled in a spell to accelerate vine growth. They managed to force the vines to sprout, and several times they nearly entangled the flying golden-crowned eagle. It wasn't a major problem.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

With Qin Hao around, the invasion will fail sooner or later.

They just didn't expect that the first attack of the world's advancement would be overcome so easily.
"These ordinary strange beasts might be a bit troublesome. It's impossible to completely eliminate them."

Moreover, the passage has always been there, and strange beasts come here all the time.

If even one or two escape, they will pose a huge problem in the wild in the future.

Furthermore, farmers need to leave the city to farm; if they encounter this, it would be a major disaster.

These things are all very troublesome.

No matter how troublesome it is, it has to be dealt with.

Three days later, everyone returned.

A few of the strange beasts still exist; the rest have escaped.

"How is it?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.

Song Yuanqiao smiled and shook his head: "It's alright, none of the Wudang people died."

However, some disciples were injured, and I have already given them water from the Pure Lotus Pond to help them heal. They are all fine.

This passage has always existed.

The strange beast emerged and randomly appeared within dozens of miles of the passage.

A complete lockdown is probably not feasible.

The future holds many hardships and disasters.

Even Zhang Sanfeng couldn't do anything about this.

"Master has done everything in his power to seal off the passage within the Four Directions City."

This is the limit; after all, one must defy the Heavenly Dao of the world and communicate with it to accomplish these things.

Furthermore, the opponent's Heavenly Dao backfired, sending some exotic beasts that were effective against our cave heaven to our doorstep.

"It's impossible to go any further."

Zhang Sanfeng did not hide the fact that he had been taught by his master.

Song Yuanqiao, the eldest disciple and the future sect leader and successor to the lord of the grotto-heaven, was someone Zhang Sanfeng was supposed to let know some inside information about, which was only right.

Song Yuanqiao nodded.

He was naturally excited and proud of the legacy of Wudang.

This is a banished immortal!

Unexpectedly, Wudang is actually an offshoot of the immortal's lineage.

No wonder Wudang has secret realms.

Outsiders all thought this was a natural secret place that Master Zhang Sanfeng had discovered by accident.

Little did they know, this was the work of a banished immortal.

After reporting some more things, Zhang Sanfeng told Song Yuanqiao to leave: "Go and lead your fellow disciples. They can also accept any missions they may have."

You should also pay close attention to their martial arts skills.

"Yes, Master."

After Song Yuanqiao went down, Zhang Sanfeng and Jueyuan exchanged a few words before receiving a summons from the Heavenly Net.

By the time he logged on, quite a few people had already arrived.

This was a meeting convened by five philanthropists, and it belonged to the House of Lords.

Zhang Sanfeng was also one of the members of the Senate.

Huang Yaoshi, Ma Yu, Yang Guo, Hong Qigong, and Master Yideng are all disciples of the Quanzhen Sect. One of them is the master of the Quanzhen Sect disciples, and the other is also closely related to Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Master Yideng was the furthest away, but actually, we all had a good relationship.

Of course, three of them were among the previous Five Greats.

It is evident that these individuals possess exceptional talent.

Of course, they were also very lucky to have met their master.

Wang Chongyang died young, otherwise he would have also secured a place in the literary world.

Suddenly, a beam of light fell.

Above the Five Great Benevolent Ones is another seat, which belongs to the banished immortal Qin Hao.

Originally, Qin Hao would not have attended the meeting of the Five Philanthropists, or even the meetings of the members of the House of Lords.

But at this moment, Qin Hao actually arrived.

Everyone stood up and bowed in greeting.

"I've seen the real person."

The title "banished immortal" is widely accepted.

But Qin Hao himself said that he is still one step away from becoming an immortal.

Actually, we're already very close to achieving that one step.

Especially after this global advancement.

Qin Hao carefully observed the world's advancement up close.

In that instant, Qin Hao was able to clearly see the essence of the world.

Although he hasn't grasped enough yet, it's enough to support his advancement.

There's just no need to tell anyone.

"Alright, no need for formalities."

I have come today to tell you a fact.

This world is far more than what you see here.

Besides the Central Plains, there was also the Western Regions.

Beyond the Western Regions, there are many other places.

Even the place where you live only occupies a small corner of the world.

However, in other places, the previous civilizations were nothing special, and the martial arts were not advanced.

Besides the four routes through the Central Plains, there are still more than ten routes in the world.

Qin Hao's words left everyone seemingly bewildered.

This means that, in addition to the Stone Beast King they killed, the other side had at least ten more Beast Kings.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Qin Hao nodded.

"Yes, after that, you will need to use Sifang City as a base to gradually expand outwards. You will even need to develop navigation, because there are vast areas overseas that are dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the territory we occupy."

"Moreover, there is the most important ocean. The ocean's area is more than twice the area of ​​the land."

The resources in the ocean far exceed those on land.

Qin Hao shared some information and then prepared to leave.

The development of the Legend of the Condor Heroes world is almost complete.

This promotion is far from over.

This could take decades.

And he has already gotten what he wanted.

He was confident enough to help Ao Hong's seven-colored dragon avatar advance to the Immortal level.

It's time to look elsewhere.

"Returning to the Qianyang Realm first, advancing Ao Hong's body to the Immortal level is the highest priority."

After advancing to the Immortal level, one's divine soul and true spirit can also undergo further transformation.

Moreover, with experience, other bodies in other worlds will advance faster.

You need to have a solid foundation, but you also need to have real strength.

In every world, strength reigns supreme.

Even a genius with potential but no real ability cannot save themselves when faced with a crisis.

If you focus all your attention on others, you'll eventually run into trouble because others won't come to your rescue in time.

"Then, you may continue the meeting."

If you need anything, you can hold a meeting first, and the five philanthropists can go through the meeting first.

If you still need help, then come find me.

As a backup plan, Qin Hao cannot intervene in everything.

Do we still want to maintain the refined elegance of a banished immortal?
After Qin Hao left, he didn't just ignore everything.

He sent a message to Guo Jing and the others.

"The Enlightenment Pavilion will be open to them. Once they accumulate a certain amount of merit, they can use it once."

Since we already have the Heavenly Book and the Chaos Stele, we might as well use them.

Don't be stingy when it comes to cultivating your own people.

The Senate was still in session after Qin Hao left.

But many people connected to Qin Hao were suddenly shocked.

The shock and joy that welled up in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

Master Yideng turned his head and looked around, and couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that those associated with the banished immortal have all received some benefits.

Only myself.

When did it start?
It seems that this was around the time I connected with the Western Pure Land and started enjoying it alone.

He himself is not wrong.

He was closest to the Western Pure Land.

He himself is a monk and is close to Buddha, so what's wrong with that?
Moreover, things from the Western Pure Land should naturally not be given to others.

Then, the benefits for the banished immortal gradually diminished.

To this day, he hasn't received any news about what benefits he might receive.

Master Yideng didn't bother to ask, lest he make a fool of himself.

Ultimately, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

However, from the perspective of the overall situation in this world, he still wants to advance and retreat together with others.

Even with the support of the Western Pure Land, they cannot come to this world in person.

On matters of principle, he cannot be left behind.

Otherwise, even the Vermilion Bird Cave Heaven would find it difficult to sustain itself; a single tree cannot support a forest.

Moreover, Master Yideng's character was also impeccable.

"If you don't want to give it, then you don't. Giving it is a favor, not giving it is your right."

Master Yideng harbored no resentment; it was he who had chosen to deviate first, not the banished immortal.

What's there to say about him being ostracized now because of his choices?
Guo Jing and the others have all calmed down, which naturally brings many benefits, but they still need to work hard.

But right now, there is hope.

After clearing out so many strange beasts, you can exchange them for contribution points with your sect.

The main use of these contribution points now is to exchange them for Enlightenment Pavilion points.

Not only for the direction of one's own martial arts, but also for the many difficulties encountered in one's cultivation process, all of which require a direction.

Following the Senate meeting.

When the abbot of Shaolin returned, he pressed Master Yideng for an answer: "I noticed that Ma Yu and Guo Jing of the Quanzhen Sect had shown joy on their faces earlier. Could it be that the immortal has given them special instruction, guidance, and resources?"

Master Yideng turned around and looked speechlessly at the abbot of Shaolin: "So what if it is? The banished immortal was originally a junior uncle of the Quanzhen Sect, so it's normal for him to be given something."

"But……"

"There are no 'buts'. Just yesterday, an hour ago, didn't the Western Pure Land also contact Shaolin? Could it be that Shaolin will give up the inheritance given by the Western Pure Land?"

what?
The abbot of Shaolin Temple never expected that one of his ideas would actually connect with the Western Pure Land.

But how could Master Yideng know that?
And they even pointed it out directly.

Of course, they wanted what the immortal had given them.

However, the abbot of Shaolin Temple was reluctant to speak up, so he wanted to persuade Master Yideng to step forward.

Unfortunately, Master Yideng also saw through the Shaolin abbot's plan.

They hold the benefits offered by the Western Pure Land, yet they are unwilling to relinquish them, while simultaneously desiring the benefits from the banished immortal.

Where in the world can you find such an advantage?
"We're all striving for this cause. Only when there are benefits will everyone feel secure, right?" The abbot of Shaolin Temple couldn't even believe his own words as he spoke.

They were naturally aware of the distinction between Buddhism and Taoism.

However, with a banished immortal residing in this realm, the Daoist sect might have the upper hand. The Western Pure Land's contact with them naturally stems from their own intentions.

However, Master Yideng doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about it.
"Master." (End of Chapter)
